Las Vegas/McCarran International Airport (LAS) is located five miles south of the central business district of Las Vegas, Nevada. McCarran is the largest operation base for Allegiant and Southwest and serves as a focus city for US Airways, serving over 48 million passengers a year. Southwest carries the most passengers in and out of McCarran, followed by US Airways, United, Delta, and American. A McCarran International Airport rent a car is a great way to get around and experience the wide range of area attractions or just to cruise the Strip. Look for great deals on McCarran International Airport car rentals and spend your savings on internationally renowned entertainment and fine-dining, try your luck at the casinos, or get out of Sin City and visit nearby Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon.

Representative of Vegas' "Entertainment Capital of the World" title, the airport terminals feature more than 1,300 slot machines. McCarran International Airport car rentals are provided via complementary shuttle by US Rent a Car, Sav Mor, Advantage, Budget, Dollar, thrifty, Payless, Enterprise, Alamo, National, Simply Wheelz by Hertz, Hertz, and Avis. Try Advantage for the lowest rates. Many agencies offer additional locations downtown, usually with better rates than those at the airport, including by US Rent a Car, Sav Mor, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, Enterprise, and Avis. Try Hertz for the best deals. Most agencies will arrange for pickup or drop-off at the airport and most strip hotels and casinos, but check with your rental office ahead of time to ensure availability and hours.

You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most rental car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor's coverage options. Usually age requirements for a Las Vegas rent a car are 21 for compact and economy cars, 25 for all others, and an additional young driver charge may apply for anyone under 25 (select agencies will rent to qualifying individuals over 18 for an additional fee). Often, economy vehicles are not permitted out of state, so you must upgrade to a different model if you plan to drive your vehicle out of Nevada. Some agencies will not allow rentals out of state at all, and others, such as US Rent a Car, limit 'unlimited mileage' to certain states (California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada).
